DOWNDRAFT
If you prefer a concealed look, choose a Thermador Downdraft Ventilation Unit, which offers
space efciency when a hood is not preferred. The full-face lter combines a lter with a splatter
shield in one easy-to-remove, dishwasher-safe element. Thermador invented the rst retractable
downdraft, and was also the rst to introduce a recirculation option for downdrafts— making
ventilation possible in any kitchen.

DOWNDRAFT
FEATURES & BENEFITS
FULL 13-INCH RISE
With an over 13-inch intake, the UCVM rises well above even the
tallest pans. This protects against splatters when cooking and provides
better performance in capturing steam and smoke — even from the
front burners.
DOWNDRAFT RECIRCULATION OPTION
Downdraft recirculation is now available for island or wall applications.
Combine the performance of the UCVM Downdraft with the odor- and
grease-capturing lters in the Recirculation Module for the perfect
ventilation combination for anywhere in your kitchen.
FULL-FACE FILTERS
Full-face lters combine a lter with a splatter shield in one easyto-remove, dishwasher-safe element. These lters maximize grease
capture without affecting airow.
PLANNING INFORMATION
MODEL OPTIONS
Thermador Downdraft Hoods are available in 30 and 36-inch
widths to t your kitchen plans and are meticulously crafted for
both function and design. Be sure to reference the correct model
information in this design guide.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Be sure your Thermador Downdraft Hood is properly installed
and grounded by a qualied technician. Installation, electrical
connections and grounding must comply with all applicable
local codes.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The information in this design guide provides key features,
product dimensions, cutouts and installation specications.
Before installing a Thermador Downdraft Hood, be sure to verify
the cutout dimensions and electrical connections. Also, always
consult with the installation manual packed with the product for
complete details before installing.
Thermador Downdraft Hoods may be installed in a wall or island
behind a Thermador non-professional gas, electric or induction
cooktop to create a convenient cooking center. Refer to the
appropriate section for additional specications.
HOOD WIDTH
Downdraft ventilation units should be the same width as the
cooking surfaces they are ventilating.
CHOOSING THE CORRECT BLOWER
A variety of interior and exterior blower options (Remote, Inline
or Integrated) are available for Thermador’s Downdraft Hoods.
If the unit you have selected does not have a blower, one can
be purchased separately. Blower selection will vary based on
the volume of air that needs to be moved and the length and
location of the duct run. For long duct runs with multiple turns
and bends, consider using a more powerful blower. For the most
efcient air ow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows
as possible.
186
Remote Blowers (VTR Series)
Depending on your preference and ducting situation, these
blowers can be mounted on the roof or exterior wall of your
home. An exterior installation may be more appealing to reduce
noise in the kitchen.
Inline Blowers (VTI series)
To minimize noise in the kitchen, these blowers are mounted
along the duct line anywhere between the kitchen and the
exterior wall. If you have easy access to your duct line (in an attic,
for example), this may be an appealing option.
Integrated Blowers (VTN series)
These blowers are purchased separately and integrated into the
hood or onto the downdraft unit at the time of installation. This
option allows you to select your ideal hood with the exact power
you require.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CFM
The power of the cooktop, measured in BTU, is perhaps
the most important factor in determining CFM needs for
a hood. Professional Gas Rangetops generally should
have 1 CFM for every 100 BTU.
You should also consider the cooking space and cooking
style of your client.
• More demanding cooks usually require more exhaust
capacity to handle moisture generated by boiling large
pots of water or the grease and smoke resulting from
grilling or frying. This cooking style could require a hood
or downdraft system with airow of 600 to 1,300 CFM.
• For those who are used to preparing quick meals in a
relatively small kitchen, a hood with 600 CFM may be
adequate ventilation for the cooking space.
• If the cooking surface is in a peninsula or island, a larger
capacity hood can provide better capture when there
are cross currents and when the hood needs to be
mounted higher. Downdraft ventilation systems are also
a good alternative.
• High heat cooking or aromatic foods may require
additional CFM. Increasing capture area by 3" on each
side is also a recommended way to address this issue.
LENGTH AND SIzE OF DUCTWORK
Do not use exible duct; it creates back pressure/air
turbulence and reduces performance.
Straight runs and gradual turns are best. Use the shortest
route with the fewest turns possible.
Proper performance is dependent upon proper ducting.
Use a qualied and trained installer. Local building codes
may require the use of make-up air systems when using
ducted ventilation systems greater than specied CFM
of air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale
to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specic
requirements in your area.

If using a 10" duct, Thermador recommends not
exceeding 150 feet of duct. Transitions, elbows and
wall or roof caps are all factors that will add more static
pressure, therefore increasing your equivalent duct run.
